Shot some photos for layout tour this summer
I recently dragged out the ol' camera to take some photos of the layout for the upcoming layout tour and open house this August to coincide with the narrow gauge convention in Pasadena, CA. Taking these helped me notice what needs work, (which is just about everything) and focus in on what can realistically be improved before August.
Progress Update on E-Oaks Branch
Hi Folks,
a short but great update on my Elizabeth Oak Branch Line :
The "Golden Spike" was applied on March 7. Now I can run trains over the complete layout.
It took me since December 2011 to get to this point, some test attempts to build up the landscape included.
Mainline length roughly calculated is about 56.5 feet long without staging yards
Now I can focus on building up scenery and improve my rolling stock.
MFTR Layout Progress #3
I've finally gotten around to creating a new layout progress video to show off what I've been working on lately.
I've started using an iPhone 4s with the iMovie app to record, edit, and publish the video. It's a bit quirky to use and I haven't had an HD video successfully published to YouTube yet, but It is very convenient and will hopefully encourage me to produce videos more often.
